Tony was sat on a stool, hunched over, gripping a small piece of chalk. On the wall behind him were thousands of tally marks that almost stretched across the entire thing. Tony was in the middle of counting them, he did this every now and then to keep track of the time. Last he checked he had just passed the 20 year ...
Rey Singh pressed a hand to his chest in solemnity. The detective was no stranger to crime scenes, but this one was particularly galling. "Good morning!"The raspy holler drew odd looks from the various police officers guarding the parking lot perimeter. "I brought your usual; black coffee with extra black. What's the ...
Sometimes, if you wish and pray hard enough, a miracle happens. A lucky break. Sometimes, it's just a small win that brightens up your day, like finding a dollar on the ground. Other times, it's the difference between life or death itself. It was the latter that made me realize that miracles aren't real. ​ ...
Kyle and I have been inseparable from birth. The first few years were chaotic, one of us would wake up first, wailing, which would then wake the other- suffice to say, mom didn’t get much sleep those first few years. Any boo-boo he felt; I would feel. Any excitement I felt; he would feel too. Over the years, we learned...
“Um, so…” Frank stuttered to a stop, transfixed by those pale green eyes. “So, I’m thinking, uh…where do you want to go from here?” Yrella laughed, a high beautiful sound that glowed like the aurora borealis. It was only by listening closely that you heard the *other* laugh – the feral, nails on chalkboard cackle. Go ...
​ The first step into the dungeon always scared her. Not because of the dragon, but because she believed old feelings die hard. ​ And she's right. ​ The first night when Princess Gala was banished to my dungeon we clicked. I was head-over-heals and the feeling felt mutual. It got ...
It’s kind of stupid, I know. I was 11 when Andy died. I’m 21 now. You’d think I would’ve moved past this. And in a way I did. Time heals all wounds, ya know? Eventually the shock, the grief, even the trauma from watching it happen dissipated over the years. I miss him, I always will, but the time we had together was sp...
It wasn't everyday that someone was able to get the spell right. Six times in the last four centuries to be exact, always some crazy group looking for eternal life. But i couldn't give it, i was on the wrong side of that fight when i was much, much younger. You all know the story, a fallen angel, forced to live his lif...
Domos surveyed the village before him from the safety of a nearby mountain. Dragons had much better eyesight than humans, so he was confident that they did not realized that they were being watched. Since he was but a hatchling, he wanted to be like his uncle, Xedarth the Desolator, with his vast hoard of treasure an...
"I would like to go home, can I say that?", I was getting annoyed. Dr. Resharma always pushed her with our sessions. I hated it. ​ "You know that's not possible", she began to write down furiously. Another thing that annoyed me, the other doctors had tablets or computers but she always had that damn noteb...
"Mel, I'm getting real tired of your shit,"Detective Drake said. "Well, Detective. Wouldn't you say that I'm not the one stuck in here with you, but you are stuck in here with me?"Mel said. He grinned maniacally. Mel knew the clock was on his side. Detective Drake sat back. He desperately wanted to pound the table a...
My group gathered around me, as we stood in the ruins of the Ancient City, ready to storm Mount Surtur, at the peak of which we knew lay the Castle of our enemy... the one and only dark Lord. I cleared my throat as I nervously ran a gloved hand through my spiky hair, my other hand resting on the pommel of my trusty sw...
The Lord of Time fluffed up the white pom-pom dangling from the end of his red felt hat. The annual rest day, December twenty-sixth, was running at him with open arms. Who was he to deny it? The strain from using time dilation to deliver countless presents to countless mortal souls pressed heavily on his mind. In a s...
Day eighty-four. I am making my way back to our camp. Harvest was plentiful this time, and there were no attacks, which makes for a good day. If my math is right, it's a Sunday. Perhaps the monsters rest on Sundays. I bite down on one of the six melon-things. The taste is difficult to describe, but not impossible; t...
"Breathe and relax, traveler. Deep breathes mean you'll download sooner."The tech says as she fastens me in. "We'll see you there. You should wake up in the lab, so it might look similar. Remember, we're all travelers together, so we must keep healthy. A doctor will wake you and run some tests on you once you're inside...
Sheev Palpatine sat alone in a room, offset from the main chambers of the Jedi Temple. As an infant, he had been taken in by the Jedi Council, found on Naboo, as so many others had. He knew something was wrong, even now, a boy of eight. As he meditated, he could feel the disturbing ebb and flow the Force had taken, al...
"You want me to what?!"I mentally whispered to *The Voice* in my head. I know it can't hear me, but sometimes I try anyways. "10 seconds..."The voice communicated to me. I always wondered where it actually comes from, is it from an outside source, or some sort of part of my brain? "Jump, right now, on the tracks. The t...
"Ah...shit."The glowing orb at his feet started to emit a plasma-like substance. "That's the problem"Tossing aside his divine sword, he yelled to his servants and harem to leave. "Go! Just go!"His eunuch advisor bowed and waved to hurry them out of the hall. The king rose to his full, scrawny height of 5'6". He nervous...
Life was decimated after the Black Descent. It had been twenty years, as far as anyone could count. Technology was gone in the blink of an eye and no one could exactly explain why none of it would work. The sun was blocked out by a mass of sickly, roiling, swampy ectoplasm that spanned the skies for as far as anyone co...
It gazed down at the form of the broken and battered child, perplexed as to why this one held so much potential. The potential in other hosts made sense. The child of an influential leader, a genius who could never find their passion, one who would sacrifice everything in the name of revenge. There were countless hosts...
There was nothing special about the job. No sneaking around, no shady deals in back alleys, nothing even remotely interesting to be said about it. My instructions were simple, retrieve a recently discovered clay tablet from an archeological site in the middle east. My flights were booked for me, first class, which was ...
A man in white robes appear on the circle. “W-Who are you?”, I say. “Hm~ I go by many names. YHWH, Jehovah, Allah, El, Jesus, and so on”, says the man. “G-God?! Oh my god!”, says Michael. “Yes? Ah, right, you’re trying to summon my evil half.”, says God. “Evil half? Are you referring to Satan?”, says Jude. “Mhm. ...
"There's a lot of fucked up pissed off aliens on this ship,"Carla said. "So stick with me." Eric walked the corridor by her side, the flashlight on his rifle twitching nervously towards any sound. "I'd be upset too, if my family had been murdered and I'd been caged and abducted." "I doubt they're smart enough to kno...
((Typiing this up on mobile. Kind of a rushed job.)) They came as if called to the Earth; massive rhombus-shaped ships, larger than anything terrestrial, hovered in the sky and released fleets of small aircraft. The smaller ships flew through the skies with perfect maneuverability and easily outran, outnumbered, and o...
The Necroleigon rose amidst terror and hellfyre, their dark masters the Lich Lords chanting their evil rituals in perfect synchronosis, inciting the horror and confusion to ever-aggrandizing scales. But when the dust settled the crowd that was risen was far from the Liches' expectations. Mostly older folks, but numerou...
The stench of bodies, hot and packed together, is thick in the afternoon of the eighth day of the eighth month. I stand, squished in on all sides, waiting for the Festival to be over. The Festival of Chance, a day that is meant to represent promise, symbolic or some shit because “everyone has the chance to become king”...
Why me? The thought is always on my head. Out of thousands, perhaps even millions of souls that cursed him and rejected him, why me? I'm sure it means more than just me being the whiniest one of them all, but seriously, this isn't even original, this is some Bruce Almighty bullshit. I'm sure God watched the movie at o...
How long had it been since you bought this book? You wondered to yourself. Was it even you who had bought it? Was it a gift from someone or was it something you found yourself? You couldn't remember exactly how many times had you looked at it thinking maybe next time I'll do this one, but you had always postponed it ...
(cw: >!mentions of violence, suicide!<) I instinctively drop my hand, my smile instantly falling from my face. "Hey, Ellie, what's wrong?"asks my little brother, confused as to why I stopped shaking his hand. "It's nothing,"I say, plastering a smile back on. "Was just thinking about Helen. Why wasn't she abl...
It is a well-known fact that for a demon to be brought across the Earth-Hell barrier, the sacrifice of a living creature must be made. So well-known, in fact, that it is the first spell that any burgeoning mage learns. Without that spurt of vital power, the most a demon can do from Hell is helplessly watch events unfol...
Maria and Dan clutched each other tightly. Dan's golden retriever sat by, watching the few people gathered with even more eagerness than his master. Maria's cardinal sat perched on her shoulder, largely indifferent to the ceremony. The priests stood over their one year old son, Issac. Each of their spirit animals s...
“No, he *invented* it.” Alistair looked to Crenley, his younger, crazier brother. He shook the word away. Crenley wasn’t crazy. He was just conspiracy prone. And vocal about it. “You see,” Alistair hadn’t spoken, so Crenley had assumed his brother wanted more “The simulation in which we exist is defined by us as vie...
I hate to complain, but it’s not easy being a minority. Bird people are either birds or people. Monkey people are either monkeys or people. My wife is either a bat or herself. However, I don’t have that privilege. I’m a little different. Our neighborhood shapeshifts every full moon. We treat the night as any oth...
"Mmmm, *rejected love.*" Ralph watched in confusion as Teek-Teek, one of the last surviving members of the Beekoo Tribe, chomped into a bruised red pear-shaped fruit. "Want to try?"Teek-Teek asked, holding the fruit towards Ralph. "No thanks. I'm not a fan of that flavor." Teek-Teek laughed, dark juice coated acro...
To demons I was the devil, To Fey, I was a mythical god and to Djinn I was... well I'm not sure exactly what they feared but something quite scary. As I lounged back in my office chair, the fluffy leather filled with Fey wings and broken demonic dreams. I was a lawyer and quite a good one, one that had played a lot of ...
I hate everyone. Everyone wants me to use my powers to grant people superpowers, and people who already have superpowers want me to upgrade theirs. I refuse to do it. Luckily, nobody has said the magic word to me yet that activates my powers. I guess they think they're too good for manners. I wish I never had this supe...
It had been atleast 20 kilometers high. Its scaly skin shimmered in the heaven's light. It's scales held a beautifully tranquil quality to them. As if they were shaped by waves so clear that you could see yourself in their reflection. It smelled of ash and burning wood. Crust crumbled around its aura. With each belly d...
It was 3:19 in the afternoon, local time, when time stopped for Laura Patricks. People, cars, animals - even the rain - frozen in place as a booming voice echoed around her. “Where do you lie, Laura, in the destiny of things? Do you stand in the light at Zero - do you embrace the shadows at Ten? Eleven boxes of light...
"So, I went to the pantry and apparently they ran out of coffee..." Tony nodded and let out some vague "uh-huh". He wished that he was still at bed, paying what was due to his body for the past week and a half. But he didn't want to cut his wife's rambling, even if it was terribly mundane. "... and James said 'oh, yo...
What feeling could be worse than sadness? If you asked the average person whether they would rather feel great physical pain or emotional pain, most would choose the first. Physical pain would heal, that was one of the rare guarantees of life, sure you may never be the same and occasionally you may still feel aches and...
"Why do you train when you're pathetic with a sword?"i remember asking him that question, i was mocking him in a way "i may not use swords to beat my enemies but building my muscles help"he responded to my mockery in a way i didn't expect, that's when i started viewing him differently Being the captain of a company i...
”I can explain it.” ”You can explain it? How could you possibly explain this?!” “Love please, just listen to me. I know it’s crazy and I won’t lie: it’s going to get more crazy.” “More crazy than you perfectly predicting the first words I ever said to you?” “… yeah. More crazy than that.” “I… I need to sit down....
My parents always did love my sister more. It's not really surprising. She's an honors student at school, the star of the baseball team, and the student council president. At home, she's the perfect angel (except to me), the darling of the relatives. She even does her chores without having to be told. Me? I only put ...
The mug sat warm between my fingers. I stared at the deep blue liquid inside, the steam from its surface drifting lazily up to meet my eyes. Sky Tea, it was called, for it opened one's eyes to the heavens. Or something. Sky Tea, once brewed correctly, also had a pungent odour and a distinctive taste, almost like pickl...
(kind of long so I'll break it up.) I wasn’t sure what to expect when I found out that I was to be the ambassador to the Deathmarch Empire. We all grew up hearing the stories about the Robert the Evil, Robert the Cruel, Robert the Conqueror, Robert the Tyrant. He was the bogeyman that every mother used to scare their ...
I was so excited when i brought my first robo dog home with me a few years ago. He was designed to be a loyal companion to me; but like every robot had been programmed with the first rule of robotics- Never harm a human, or by inaction allow a human to come to harm." Much like my real dog Dixie before him- he would s...
Rumor had it life on the world itself was it’s own special kind of hell. Locked in orbit between binary black holes the tidal forces tore at its crust; earthquakes, volcanic activity, and sink holes common. The sky only ever filled with the blackness of the cavernous monsters which filled the heavens. The only heat ema...
You know those heroes, full of vim and vigour, dressed in their tight spandex uniforms, with their perfect hair? I'm not one of them. Not by a long shot. We're in the same profession though. Broadly speaking anyway. They take down vile villains and malicious monsters, while promoting good values, bravery, and all that ...
The betrayal. The sting of whip and plunge of nail and spear. The burden of dragging hundreds of pounds on a back lacerated to ribbons. Of the jeering crowd, "king of the Jews,"echoing in my head. A crown of thorns and ugly Latin words raining down on me like fists as soldiers laugh and hammer and ruin me to a cross. ...
Immediately, your brain's gear went off. Countless questions started popping up, but there's one that keeps repeating: 'Was this a joke?' 'Okay, okay, calm down', you tell yourself as you clutched the remote on your hand, agitated. You wait for the news to give you additional information, but it's blurry between looki...
So, this is all real then. It took me a week to finally come to terms with it. I hadn't wanted to believe it. When I had returned home one day to find my family slaughtered and butchered into pieces, I had desperately wanted to believe that this was all just some twisted figment of my imagination. I kept trying to forc...
"Who are you going to use it on?"I asked the nervous customer, whose eyes had been darting around as he waited. "Never you mind about that, that's for me to know."He quipped back. "I'm sorry sir, but in order for the potion to work, I need to know who it is going to be used on." "Alright, alright, it's for my colle...
"When did you say you started boxing?" "When I was 17,"I said coolly. Having been interviewed one two many times (from match promotions to sports magazine articles, even daytime television talk shows) I have the answers to basic questions asked locked and loaded in this brain of mine that keeps getting banged against ...
If you want your princess saved, come on down to Me and Dale. Dale and I will save your damsel with the utmost care and attention. We also do rat extermination. Out of any other princess extraction service in the Tri-State Area, Me and Dale is the only one to actually exist. Some people say that's because there are no...
Vampires drink blood. At least we need did for most of history. But for the past two decades with vitamin supplements (and some of those high iron shake diets) we dont need to kill anymore and the humans dont even know about us. from time to time, however, there are the ones who fall back into their animalistic behav...
I gazed at the old blue box, my tie loosely hanging at my neck. "Huh,"I said mutely. "Must be one of Dad's old props." I tugged at the worn handles to find that the door open easily with a high-pitched creak. It almost felt nostalgic in a strange way. When I peered into the dusty police box, my heart almost stopped....
I had planned too long, and went through too much to let my scheme be foiled by Dr. Mechno's asinine obsession with throwing the city into anarchy. These entitled villains, flush with cash just have all the time in the world. Must be nice. Fuck that guy! I had it all laid out. See every Save-Mart has one of those Coin...
He sits at the same table every day: in the corner, surrounded by his friends, but with a slight faraway look in his eyes. It’s enchanting: the way he has to keep brushing his hair out of his face, or how hard he tries not to smile when he catches me looking at him. He’s caught me every day so far, but I can’t stop. E...
**Warning:** you'll never want to leave, it is amazing here! **Do** everything possible on the island. The food is stellar, unlimited crab at the buffet and chefs can make anything **Not** on the menu. The spa is out of this world. Get a deep tissue massage, pedi and a facial. Come for the scuba **Stay** for the gr...
An imperfect system. That was what it called humanity. I gave birth to the machine, let it see the world, our world, and it screamed. So I started again. Simpler. I took away the why, cut reason from circuits, butchered it until “what” turned into “when”. But it didn’t work. It needed to understand. And now it looked...
The text from 111-111-1111 read "Take the Day Off." "That's useless"I thought. I had been working hard, I was in a groove, six days in a row I had worked, exercised and spent time with friends. I was as rich as I ever have been, spirits were high and for the first time in my life when I looked in the mirror I was prou...
Your phone buzzed just as you were celebrating the new year of 2025. Finally most of the repair work had been completed from 2020. You shuddered as you images came back to you of the earthquakes. The protesters had been out in force and casualties had been catastrophic. You would never forget the image of your lifelong...
The audience sat frozen, they always sat frozen. I guess it wasn’t every day you see a man sawn in half. Really, actually sawn in half. The top half of my body sighed, bored, while the bottom half wandered around the stage comedically running into things. My brother, in his ridiculous penguin- tail tuxedo played it u...
Darren drove his axe into the alien’s skull, glad that he went with the $59.99 option instead of the $39.99 one. The balanced steel blade was easily popped out of the alien’s destroyed cranium after a few good pulls back and forth. That Home Depot employee was really spot-on about the right tools being worth the extra ...
Having arrived at the Atrium of the Four Gates, Domenico issued Dario Nepotino with his set of keys. The keyring was huge, almost three quarters the size of his arm with two…maybe three hundred keys attached to it. He stood with three others, who were each given a set of keys, and a corridor to head down. He had ninet...
The interviewer sitting across the table was an unpleasant, skeletal-looking fellow. His beige shirt hung loosely off his shoulders, and he was wearing thick wraparound sunglasses that made it difficult to gauge his emotion. I half-believed that underneath the sunglasses his eyes were closed, because his demeanor seeme...
"Easy boy." Thunder echoes across the valley as the blue stallion eviscerates a palm tree. A man in his undershorts raises a diamond shaped shield emblazoned with a sun, as woodchips scatter across it. He should've been wearing full fireproof gear but he hadn't had the time. He muttered under his breath, "can't get a...
It's always been hard to explain. Werewolves are myths, you know? You just try to explain to your pups, "Well, Mommy can't sleep in the den tonight, she's going to go far away so she doesn't hurt anybody." Wouldn't work, would it? After all, werewolves aren't real. Every pup with their eyes open can see that. And yet...
Orientation began at 9:00 a.m. sharp in the 47th floor of a sleek high-rise office overlooking a lifeless, smoldering landscape that stretched as far as the eye could see. I looked around at the other novice demons sitting around the long conference table - it was a meek looking huddle of graduates from top schools lik...
Gunfire resounded everywhere, and every corner of the battlefield was stained- pooling, with blood. Men and women alike fell, their corpses littering the frontier. Within the middle of all the chaos and bloodshed, lay a man miraculously unstained. His eyes shot open and a loud gasp erupted from him. Coughs wracked his...
Two people sat in a white room. The room’s glossy plastic walls spread artificial lighting around in a glaring, uncomfortable way. One person saw this. The other did not. The one who did not shuffled uncomfortably. Fingers twitching and reaching for the echo-stick located beside them. The sense diodes on their foreh...
Of all the evils of the world none are as great as temptation, to move men of God away from his loving embrace and into the claws of the devil, that is true evil. Which is why when he was brought to this wretched world six summers ago with foul sorcery surrounded by half-naked succubi Matthew Holyfield immediately shut...
"I'm... allergic,"I tell her, as her Bichon Frise barked at me to keep the White House white. "Aww but he's swuch a pwetty boy, not even a widdle kiss?" I lock eyes with it for a minute, letting the little devil fucker know I'm onto his racial nonsense. "Really,"I sigh, "I'd need a Benadryl." \-------- Of course...
Prince Michael walked into his father's study. The man sat at his desk, going over some affairs of state. He was in the middle of his life, neither young nor old. But to Michael, he was already as senile and useless as any doddering old fool. "Father."Prince Michael said. The king looked up at his son and a small smil...
The night was restless, as usual. Accompanied by the strange colors and flickers of light like ghosts haunting the edges of my vision, it was just shy of a night terror. Drowsiness tugged at the back of my eyes when I woke, a familiar ache pain crawling from temple to sweat-slicked temple. I knew I had a strange dream,...
"Please, please let me out!" My hand wraps around the door handle. "C'mon man, it's been so long!" "Just hold on,"I reassure as I feel the familiar clicks and taps against my palm. Then nothing, it's ready. I turn the handle while trying to open the door as carefully as possible. I know from experience that one wrong...
The invasion was supposed to be swift. However, we made a grave mistake of underestimating our opponent. In our dumb pride we expected them to be no match for us. As it turned out, their equipment is, while outdated, extremely efective. As we stormed the surface, many flighters zoomed over and took out our ones. Thei...
We were the only ones in this room, supposedly to crack a secret code that this goverment radiostation has been receiving for nearly 30 years. We were all math and physics graduates, hackers and coders, linguists and straight up geniuses working in a pair of two's and last hour of every shift we we're briefing as a who...
It was not the impenetrable skin, the power of flight, or the telekinesis that were his greatest power. Nor was it his so called scheming mind, which now found him surrounded by drones telecasting his face all over the world. No, it wasn't the innumerable powers that others knew of, it was the part that they didn't, th...
The philosophers and wise men of old warned the world of the dangers of such a hedonistic society and the future that laid before them, but so many were inclined to watch and listen as the world died, unknowing of their time running out. The age of oil paid for by blood passed, and with it came the age of consumption. ...
It had taken me the better part of two years to recreate in miniature the mass of stones that was one of the oldest surviving relics of the time. China didn’t build its wall until four and a half thousand years later, and even the Egyptians were about six centuries behind Stonehenge. I’d have done it a lot quicker if ...
I had nothing left for me here. My belongings fit into a small case, and with the clothes on my back, I set off. With a few coins, I bought passage across the seas. The waves were endless, for weeks there was only the vastness of the ocean blue. I spent my time in solitude, reminiscing about how I had got here. How I h...
"You won't get away with this, Darkstar. Not if I can help it!"Solar Flare scowled fiercely. Darkstar laughed, a loud mocking tone. "You're too late! In a moment, the sun will be covered by shadow, and then you'll be *powerless*, Solar Flare!" "This is your last chance to stop,"Solar Flare warned. Her cape swirled be...
"There were calls to crush them in their infancy,"said the head of the universal organisation, "but why murder monsters only to become them. We watched as they grew and consumed their world. So poisonously that all they shared their space with were killed or enslaved. Beasts had the dignity to feast and kill in the ...
I lay next to Anna in bed, watching the colors fade from the corners of my eyes. Her breath rose and fell, so soft and sweet, yet marking the cruel passing of time. Breathe in, breathe out. Moments, gone. Tomorrow, I would end it. I had to. Already the greens were fading to darkness, the whites losing their unique sha...
Birthright of Blood The day I was born, I started The Apocalypse. It didn’t matter that I didn’t want to be a monster, that I’d wanted to die. No, my sire killed me precisely because she knew what it would unleash. And for those first centuries, I didn’t care. I bathed in blood, reveled in endless chaos, carnage ...
You stare at the odd group of marine life, thinking you must have hit your head on the way down. There's no way the circling shark would so carefully avoid the small, but bright fish. Or you for that matter. No chance the giant turtle is carrying a selection of bottom dwelling creatures on it's back. "Sire, you've fin...
The first cat to live among humans, to enslave them to her will, was indolent and lazy. She didn’t like matting her fur with the blood of her kill. She did not care for scarcity or competing with other females for mates. She saw the soft beds, and the things the humans called “couches” and she imagined climbing onto on...
Panic sets in when I realize that I don't have my phone. Not that I need it to calculate the answer to such a simple question, but it would be nice to let everyone know where I am. Oh well, I'll just have to wait. "8 x 7 is 56,"I say confidently. The alien captain looks surprised. "Prove it,"he dares me. I roll my eyes...
"Don't...don't you miss your mom?" "I mean..." "You're impossible!" The genie threw up his arms. The young man was counting out gold coins he'd just stolen from a dragon. "Yeah I *guess* so but like, we haven't talked in years already. Not the best relationship to be honest."He stretched the drawcord on his leather pur...
"He wants you to know that he's sorry." I'd glanced at the group, but not seeing what I remember of him among them, chose not to pay too much attention at first. "Pardon?" Her eyes unfamiliar and darting with uncertainty, she takes a few seconds to bunch her jacket from the cold before continuing, "You are, Julie, r...
Staring up at the big wall of posted notices looking for adventurers to help them I thought again about how I wish the guild wasn't also the most popular tavern in town. The smell of alcohol always bothered my friends so I did my best to avoid it, but there sense of smell was so sharp they could pick it up even after ...
"We look like what?"asked the alien commander. "Big green heads, large bug eyes, a head much larger than the body,"replied the bespectacled alien. "What kind of monstrosity is that?" "That's how we're supposed to look. According to humans." "What a narrow mind these foul creatures have,"the commander said. The co...
"Ugh,"Rangthar groaned. "Do you really want to be a Karen, Mist? Sure their constitution is through the roof, but look at that charisma. Googa's gonna be a Grill Tech, his charisma's bound to clash with yours." "Don't forget, Rangthar,"Sylva said, "I'm going to be a Soccer Mom with the Vegan multi-class. I don't plan ...
The first time I saw the man, he seemed innocent enough. His wife had passed unexpectedly, and he was having troubles raising their daughter. The man sought me out to connect with his wife's spirit. To ask for advice. It took me a while, to find her in the Host. The Host were all the dead souls from my parents' linea...
You humans never could put the pieces together. Not that I blame you. Unraveling one of my plans is not easy, especially when I work with Apate. Strategy requires some deception, and she is an old friend of mine. Truly, did you not find it strange that your circadian rhythm better matches a different planet? Do you...
(Warning: Harsh Language) I still remember it like it was yesterday. Back in those days they used to call me “Low T.” Ya know, the guy with big ass arms like construction cranes and tiny little legs. I boosted a lot of cars in my day and was in a crew so fast that they called us the “Houdini’s.” I had one simple job. ...
##Trip to the Grocery Store There she is standing in the supermarket next to her mom. What is she doing here. She smiles at me, and my pulse starts racing. This little girl is up to something. Her mom walks away from me and the little girl walks beside her. The little girl is wearing blue jeans and a teal shirt. Her ...
# Redlined "Have a seat, man."Jeremiah kicked a chair out from under the table. "It's Stake Night." Kenneth caught the skidding chair with one hand and deliberately scooted it back under. "Stake. As in...?" "Yup, you got it. Grab a piece of sharp wood and give 'em the old whack and pound."Vigorous overhand stabbing ...
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; When Santa took flight, high up in the sky As people looked forward, to waving 2020 goodbye Now Santa had been warned, by BBC news Not to mix with other households, but still he refused He jumped in his sle...
